Rebirth of the best emperor

Chapter 254 Everyone's Responsibility!

No, Your Majesty, you don't bring such a fool!
Xin Zhao is a little silly, national examination is the most important activity in a country, as a questioner, he has to bathe and change clothes, listen to sacred music and read the classics of saints, and then set the question, how can it be so casual.

Not only Xin Zhao is a bit stupid, but everyone else, including the scholars, is a bit stupid. Isn't this just a prelude to them, meet each other, get acquainted, and then prepare for the examination?Why did you just take the test directly? Is there such a thing as casual?

After waiting for a while, seeing no movement from Zhao Xin, Wang Mang said displeasedly: "Why, as the Minister of Rites, you can't even answer a question?"

"Chen Hui, I will come out now." Xin Zhao hurriedly said, he had to panic, he had already seen Chu Feng eager to stand up, but he knew that he was ordered to go home a few days ago to turn around, Chu Feng could not He is very active, as if he is determined to win the Minister of Rites, and I heard that this old boy has recently been appreciated by His Majesty.

Wang Mang glanced at Xin Zhao, then looked at Li Lan and said, "Invite all the scholars to the square outside."

"Observe the order." Li Lan didn't talk so much nonsense. After Wang Mang's order, Li Lan led Deng Fang and the people sent by Jin Yiwei and Bingma Si to invite a group of scholars out.

On the square outside the main hall, at some point, tables were already filled with writing tools such as pens, inks, papers and inkstones. Li Lan said in a high voice, "Masters, Your Majesty has prepared everything for you. , you don’t need to use your own things anymore, if you need anything, you just need to order, there are five hundred palace people here to serve you at any time, your majesty said, you are the future pillars of the imperial court, pillars You have to be treated like a pillar!"

A group of scholars looked at each other in blank dismay. Their belongings were confiscated by the Habayashi guards who were guarding the gate as early as when they passed the palace gate. They were surprised that the emperor asked them to examine the scholars on the spot. One of the reasons was that they had no belongings. , how to test?
After working for a long time, the emperor had already prepared everything for them, and it really was a live show!
Immediately, the scholars also thought that this is a real test to teach them knowledge. At this time, all preparations are useless, and it all depends on strength!

Looking at the competitors around them, all the scholars respectfully kowtowed in the direction of the Emperor of the Imperial Study, "Students, please thank the Lord for your kindness!"

After finishing speaking, they headed to their respective seats under the guidance of a group of palace people. As expected, everything was ready, and then there were rows of palace people coming forward to pour tea, which was really meticulous service.

Around the scholars, hundreds of Jinyiwei and Bingmasi officers and soldiers surrounded the scholars. Wang Qinian stood on a high place with Deng Fang with his eyes wide open, as if whenever anything happened in the field, he would go out and grab someone.

All the ministers in the imperial study also saw the scene on the square outside, and couldn't help being surprised by the emperor's methods. Xin Zhao racked his brains and thought of more than a dozen questions at the cost of sacrificing millions of brain cells. , All were drafted and handed over to Wang Mang.

Wang Mang read it again, finally pointed to a passage and said: "This passage is good, let's use him."

Xin Zhao saw that this paragraph was a temporary addition by himself, it was an exposition of the sage's description of the relationship between the family and the country, and it was originally just a fragment of a topic, but he didn't expect that the emperor would directly choose it as the topic.

What a subject!
Zhao Xinxin felt bitter. The word "family and country" is among the examiners in history, but he has taken the test countless times. The major academies and schools in the world also have their own expositions. It can be said that it is a common topic.

Asking this question also shows that I am too incompetent. Once this kind of question is asked, people in the world will not laugh at him, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites!
Zhao Xin just thought about this, and immediately said: "Your Majesty is wise, after His Majesty mentioned this point, I immediately felt that these two words could be the best topic."

Chu Feng chuckled and said, "Your Majesty is a saint, so you need to flatter me!"

Xin Zhao stared at Chu Feng, and snorted, "Master Chu, if you have nothing to do, go and take care of those messy constructions in Chang'an City!"

Chu Feng's expression froze, and he was suddenly speechless in anger.

Chu Feng and Lin Guodong wrestled with who should manage Chang'an City, and finally reached a tentative agreement. People are cheated.

In private, Chu Feng scolded Lin Guodong countless times, and now that Xin Zhao didn't open any pot, he made Chu Feng angry at that time!

Wang Mang pretended he didn't hear or see the dispute between the two. Wang Mang liked to see a little conflict between the ministers. If they all united to fight against him, then he, the emperor, would really become a puppet.

Seeing "Family and Country", all the scholars in the square were stunned on the spot. This question seems simple, but it is actually quite difficult.

There is an unwritten rule for examiners, that is, they do not take questions that are controversial, because everyone learns differently, and the answers are naturally different.

Examiners, that is the same test paper, with the same questions, the ranking score is naturally an answer that can be quantified and scored.Can't score, how to rank?

All of a sudden, all the scholars showed embarrassment, looking at the test paper in front of them, unable to write at all.

The situation on the square was naturally reported to the imperial study by the palace people. Wang Mang looked at the memorial in his hand indifferently, while Zhao Xin was a little anxious. If he fails the exam, then he is really a minister of the Ministry of Rites. At the end of the day, for a moment, Xin Zhao's heart was up and down.

Chu Feng smiled maliciously at Xin Zhao, and said, "Shangshu Zhao, the bureau had a meeting yesterday and decided to attack the largest households in the illegal construction in the eastern part of the city, to make an example of them."

Xin Zhao was taken aback for a moment, but then his expression changed, he didn't care about his own future, and said in a low voice, "Chu Feng, you're taking personal revenge!"

"It's all business." Chu Feng smiled.

"You..." Xin Zhao glared at Chu Feng angrily.

At this time, the palace people came to report: "Your Majesty, my lords, some scholars have already begun to write and answer the questions."

Wang Mang remained motionless, while Xin Zhao breathed a sigh of relief. He passed the first test, but when he saw Chu Feng beside him, Xin Zhao's mood immediately turned bad again.

In the east of Chang'an City, there are several largest illegal constructions, and their family occupies one of them. To be precise, it is his father-in-law's house. It is really a headache to think about it.

Above the main hall, many scholars began to answer the questions after pondering for a long time. Wang Dun looked at the white paper in his hand, pondered for a long time, and finally took a deep look at the main hall in front of him, as if he saw the man sitting on the dragon chair. Then he grabbed the pen, dipped in the ink, and said in a low voice: "The emperor chooses his ministers, and the ministers also choose his emperor. Today, I, Wang Dun, want to see if you, the emperor, are worthy of my Wang Dun's lifelong loyalty!"

After finishing speaking, Wang Dun waved his hand, and eight large characters instantly fell on the paper, "Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world!"
